Feeling Guilty Over A Cup of Coleslaw..



Nung isang araw pa ako naglalaway sa KFC..para bang di nakakatikim ng chicken 8 days a week sus. So kagabi, finally natupad nga (yey!). We had KFC for dinner. 2 piece meal ang kay misis, 3 piece naman sa akin...may kasama ng bread, fries at drinks pero yun sa akin lang me coleslaw. Siempre Take-out as usual, mas masarap kumain sa bahay e.

So ayun nga, habang nilalantakan namin ang mga kawawang breasts, legs at thighs ay sige naman kami panonood ng TV..(sarap-buhay noh). Nauna kong naubos ang akin (ay 3 piece ba? hehehe)..Kaya binalingan ko na ang aking coleslaw..Usap..kain..nood..di ko namamalayan, naubos ko na ang coleslaw...

Dun na nagreact ang aking asawa.." Ay, ubos na, di mo man lang ako inalok? nakaisang subo pa lang ako dun a" sabay maktol kunyari....

Awwww..

Abot-abot ang sorry ko..nalibang talaga ako sa pagkain at panonood..

Sabi pa nya, " Hmph, samantalang ako, ultimo isusubo ko na, hinahati ko pa para ibigay sa yo "..ayan na, kahit tatawa-tawa yan, alam ko tinototoo na nya..

Then narealize ko, oo nga tama sya..ganun nga sya, maski ano kinakain nyan, magtitira at magtitira para sa akin..o kaya hinahatian ako parati..maski yung ulam na kasya lang sa kanya, ititira pa nun for me kasi alam nya maghahanap ako ng makakain pagkagaling sa work...na-guilty na talaga ako...

Sabi ko na lang, sige bukas pasalubungan kita ng large coleslaw ha...oo daw..

"Gusto ko sa Popeye's ha? mas masarap coleslaw dun...."  

Kaya mamaya, chicken ulit kami..pero kanya na yung coleslaw..:D

Some guys have all the luck..


I am telling you, man, some guys just have all the luck!

I am talking about Lamar Odom of the Lakers..I mean, his team just won the NBA Championship, okay?..and of course, everyone knows he's got one HOT girl for a wife..

But listen to this, that same HOT wife just gave him a brand new 2010 Rolls Royce, drop-top coupe, white on white..as a congratulatory gift!...The perks of being famous, huh?

I mean, I didn't even get anything last Father's Day!!!

yeah, yeah...I don't want anything anyway :)..its enough that I have a loving wife and the most beautiful kids in this world..that's the best gift already.

Though a Rolls Royce definitely won't hurt sometimes...Lol!

Happy Fathers' Day


114/365:0519, originally uploaded by cyrographics.
The most important lessons I learned from my father are not from the words he told me but from the examples he showed me.

Happy Father's Day, Tatay. and Thank you. You are my idol.
Now that I am also a father, I want my children to feel the same love and protection you've shown us.

To my father-in-law, to my brothers and to all fathers out there. Happy Fathers' Day to you.

Lakers are 2010 NBA Champions..wohoo!



Revenge is oh so sweet..sa wakas!

The Los Angeles Lakers are back-to-back champions after beating their longtime rival, Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, 83-79. After trailing by 3 1/2 quarters, LA finally reclaimed the lead midway in the fourth quarter and never looked back despite a last stand from the Celtics.

Kobe Bryant, struggling all night, was named Finals MVP for the 2nd year, but it was his team mates, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Derek Fisher and their newest addition, Ron Artest who won this one for him. They made big plays down the stretch...I mean, huge plays..Pau with his free throws, offensive rebounding and blocks..Odom with a couple of follow-up shots..Artest with his defense on Paul Pierce and his offensive game going, not-to-mention that huge three point shot with 1:02 to silence Celtic's own rally.

But I think, it's Fisher's three pointer with 6:12 remaining to tie the game at 64 apiece that turned the game around..Yes, Mr. Clutch Fisher hitting one big shot yet again to make the difference..

It energizes the crowd..it disrupts Celtics momentum..and most importantly, it relieves Kobe of his game-long agony..after that play, everything just went LA way.

Ah, this must be so sweet..not only did they get their revenge for that 2008's embarrassing loss, they also got to beat Celtics, their greatest rival, in a Game 7..that's something special for Kobe also..He further cemented his stature as one of the Laker's greatest, and he accomplished something even Magic Johnson and Jerry West failed to do: win over Celtics in a Game 7 of the Finals.

Phil now got his 11th championship as head coach, the most by any coach in all of professional sports..perhaps another one next year..c'mon, Phil..4th three-peat before you finally call it quits..now that'd be really awesome for the books!

Kobe now has 5, that's a handful of rings (are you watching, Lebron?)..one more to tie MJ wohoo!

Pau ( Viva Espana!) has got 2 championships in 3 Finals appearance with the Lakers, not bad eh?..Fisher also got 5. Odom got his 2nd..and Artest, got his wish..his 1st.

So now, I must say to all the Lakers fans out there..pop the champagne..it's raining purple and gold right now.

and as Kobe said, " Let's go for it again!"

So..see you next year!

Celtics Vs. Lakers Game 5 Mini Movie

Boston 3- LA Lakers 2

Argh!..Boston took the most important game of the series..they now shift back to LA with a win away from hanging their 18th championship banner..pretty tough for Kobe and the Lakers..they must..MUST win Game 6 on Tuesday to tie and force a winner-take-all match on Thursday or else, bye ring #5 for him this year..

Kobe needs this, he knows he need this..another ring to cement his Laker legacy, he knows he needs to beat Boston to lay claim to being the greatest Laker ever..

and most importantly, IMO, another ring that will put him closer to MJ..

GO LAKERS!

Jovit wins Pilipinas Got Text votes..este Talent :)

Ayun, tapos na ang Pilipinas Got Talent and as expected, si Jovit nga ang panalo...obvious naman sa umpisa pa lang, unang episode pa lang ng PGT, ratsada na agad ang hits nya sa YouTube, tapos ang lawak ang fanbase, sa FB, sa twitter..iba talaga nagagawa ng internet, ng media though syempre deserving naman yun bata..inggit nga ako e..sabi ko nga ba sana nagka-boses rockstar din ako, e di sana sikat na rin ako ngayon...hahah!

Ay naku, baka hindi rin pala, medyo matangkad ako e..uso ngayon, mababa sa height..pero mataas ang boses hehehe..eniweys, here is his winning performance:



Sayang, bet ko pa naman dyan si Alakim, yung butterfly magician..galing nung Finals performance nya, nakahiga ako nun, nanonood tapos napabangon ako sabay wow!..akalain mo yun, nag-teleport!..yun nga lang, naging comedy..nakalimutan nya yung magic kung paano ibalik ang sarili sa stage he he.

Gusto ko rin yun ventriloquist na si Ruther..though hindi pa ganun ka-polish yung skills nya ( kasi nahahalata pa yung pagbuka ng bibig nya) pero dahil nga tungkol sa mga kakaibang talent ito, ang galing na nun..nabibilib ako sa kanya pag sumasabat yung puppet nyang si Titoy pag ininiterview na si Ruther! aakalain ko talaga ibang tao na yun e..

Last favorite ko yung Velasco Brothers, hataw sila, astig!..yun lang ang masasabi ko hehe..anyway, congrats sa mga nanalo..sana sa susunod na season ( if ever magkaroon pa)..sana mas kakaibang talent naman ang ma-discover nila..after all, this is a Pinoy talent showcase, hindi basta sing o dance contests lang..PBB nga nakaka-produce ng singers, tapos may PDA pa...

at saka sana ibang set of judges naman!

Araw ng Kalayaan, Kailan?

Maligayang ika-112 Araw ng Kalayaan, Pilipinas. Kahit ang araw na ito ay paggunita lamang sa deklarasyon ng ating Kalayaan mula sa pananakop ng mga Kastila noong 1898. Dahil ang katotohana'y hanggang sa panahong ito ay patuloy ka pa ring nakikipaglaban para sa iyong tunay at ganap na kalayaan..

Kalayaan, hindi sa aktwal na pananakop kundi sa pagiging sunod-sunuran sa mas makapangyarihang bansa.
Kalayaan sa gutom at kahirapan.
Kalayaan na makakita ng sapat na pagkakakitaan para di na kailanganin pang mag-abroad ng karamihan.

Talamak ang korupsyon sa pamahalaan. Hindi sapat ang kakayahan ng mga namumuno o kung hindi man, walang iniisip kung hindi ang pangsariling interes lang. Ang kapangyarihan at yaman ay hawak lamang ng iilan.
Laganap ang krimen at karahasan. Patuloy pa rin ang gulo sa Mindanao. Patuloy pa rin ang pakikipaglaban.

Kaya ang tanong ko, kailan nga ba natin ipagdiriwang ang tunay na Araw ng Kalayaan?

Yung hindi basta isang araw lang na walang pasok..kundi isang pangmatagalang kalayaan na ipamamana natin sa mga susunod pang henerasyon.

The challenges that lie ahead are great- corruption, poverty, economic debt, population etc. The burden of solving these problems will soon rest on the shoulders of the new administration. Let's just hope and pray for their success and ultimately, for a better life for the Filipino families.

God Bless the Philippines.
